Testing the New HDZero SharkByte Video Receiver (Watch in 4K) 

I've had mid air reboots, turned out to be the XT60 pins that were compressed. Pried the pins out a bit, the XT60 felt tighter and no more mid air reboots :)

Was flying my plane on hdzero the other day watching the Vario and artificial horizon move around in HD on a tiny elrs Rx. 5-6 years ago we had a massive camera, giant vtx with a button, a separate osd with like 3 elements and an even bigger Rx. technology is cool but the people that push it are cooler.

Another great video with detailed upfront information. Thanks for all the effort with your videos sir!

Looks really clean. Can't wait, saving up now...🤞🏻🍻👊🏻

Very interesting REVIEW!! and most importantly, I found a lot of intermediate information that I lacked to present the whole picture as a whole!! +++))) - THANK YOU!!! What ended the "race" of these manufacturers.??? Fat Shark changed the "owner"))) and HDZero almost abandoned this project. But Caddx, dozing aside, picked up the idea thrown into the abyss and went on the path with Walksnail !!!)) All of them use the same element base, so the only difference is in the design, which is what you pointed out when talking about the slot for the card. Software has been taken over by Caddx, according to update files for all HDZero, FatShark, Walksnail and SKYZONE models. All developers did not listen to your recommendations on antennas on the VRX block. The shark went the farthest!!(((having hidden everything in the case - SORRY!!(((I liked your HDMI "tail" very wisely that it is made in an angular form factor.))) Avatars seem to have overlooked this feature. Only Fat Shark I thought of making an acceptable kit for people who use GLASSES in everyday life!!!- Fat Shark ReconHD. I am 67 years old and wearing such a device is inevitable. I use SKYZONE Cobra X and it is easier to teach my grandson this HOBBY.))) You have a lot of experience in this topic, tell me??? use - Fat Shark ReconHD monoblock, or switch to Walksnail VRX!!!??? with sandwich decor. Tired of WRITING!!(((I look forward to your recommendations - Sokolov. Andrey.🤪🤪👌👍

great video... thanks i was hoping to see some more of your build videos.

Great video! Really looking forward to you 1s vid!

Really informative, thanks! I always feel it's worth mentioning in videos the really low bitrate of the HDZero DVR, the time-worn phrase of "it looks better in the goggles" applies very strongly to HDZero. The best representation of the video is to use a video capture passthrough setup, which is obviously quite hard to do in the field.

LOL I got my original Sharkbyte VRX bundled with the 500mW VTX and Camera for $99 on Amazon before the stock shortage and new VRX came out. So glad I jumped on that deal now. I also replaced the patch with ufl to sma connectors and am running VAS Pepperboxes on both with VAS Mad mushroom omni on the upper sma's.

Nice overview

Firstly, the video looks amazing. The weird failsafe, again you're bang on the diagnosis. It rebooted somehow. Hdzero has a great FPV system.

I love flying at 60 acres. That is really clear video. I usually fly on the north field but I might have to try the south field.

Super cool!!! Look forward to new fat sharks!! Need to compete with DJI!!

Hey, 60 acres, my old stomping grounds! :)

Really cool video thank u.

I pre ordered it

This looks so much better than walksnail to me, and the goggles aren't going to be sticking out a foot off your face (when they come out)

Nice to see that they develop this technology and it is good to have alternative for DJI system. Regards.

i just got back after pausing in the middle of the mic demonstration portion, before i paused it i thought the quality was okay but coming back to it god its awful ahahahah, good review!

Can I offer a suggestion to try. I know it works for me but that constant snow I figured out alot comes from running 2 of the same antennas up top they are still close enough to mess with reception.i by chance used 2 of the same omni antennas but of different lengths . And let me tell you I had so much better range and that snow went away or is less pronounced and it shows in the dvr. That looks clean too. Thought maybe it was just a good set or match and tried the same with pagoda and yeah better. But that time the beam changed on me from what I was used to for nulls. And tried changing just 1 antenna to a diff type and same result. But changed the latter back to same length and back to snow. Maybe it's a fluke but I figured your the guy to tell and maybe if it's a real thing then you got some new content . If not I'm just a jack ass again and nothings different lol.

Thanks for this detailed video! Do you only have to power the module or also the goggles to make the system work?

Nice review! Do you think it's worth buying for the Eachine EV300o goggles? The screens are only 1024x768 so I'm not sure if it would be that much of an improvement over analog in terms of image quality and if it would scale properly

It looks very good. I hope this semiconductor crisis fade away an hdzero can make this system affordable.

I take offence to the comment that my head is full of water 🤣🤣🤣

If you managed to film this during the ~45 minutes the sun came out & stopped raining today I'm jelly 🤣🤣🤣

I'm really liking this the more I see of it!! Thinking of making the jump to this from analog. I have a question though. If I get this hdzero 1 wat vtx and receiver your showing here do I have to worry about updating any firmware or is plug and Play? Will be using with skyzone o2c.

It needs a pair of craft googly eyes and maybe a pair of FLCL style eyebrows.

Очень интересный ОБЗОР!! а самое главное я нашел много промежуточной информации которой мне недоставало для представления всей картины в целом!!+++))) - БЛАГОДАРЮ!!! Чем же закончилась "гонка" этих производителей.??? Fat Shark сменила "владельца"))) и HDZero почти забросила этот проект. Но Caddx дремавший в стороне, подхватил брошенную в бездну идею и вышел на тропу с Walksnail!!!)) Все они используют одинаковую элементную базу, так что разница только в конструктивном исполнении на что и указали вы говоря о месте слота под карту. Программное обеспечение взяла на себя Caddx, судя по файлам обновления для всех моделей HDZero, FatShark, Walksnail and SKYZONE. Не прислушались к вашим рекомендациям по антеннам на блоке VRX все разработчики. Дальше всех пошла акула!!((( спрятав все в корпус - ЖАЛЬ!!((( Мне понравился ваш HDMI "хвостик" очень мудро что он выполнен в угловом форм-факторе. ))) Аватаровцы кажется проглядели эту фичу. Только Fat Shark додумалась сделать приемлемый комплект для людей использующих в повседневной жизни ОЧКИ!!! - Fat Shark ReconHD. Мне 67 лет и ношение подобного прибора - неизбежно. Пользуюсь - SKYZONE Cobra X да и внука проще обучать этому ХОББИ.))) У Вас большой опыт по этой теме, ПОДСКАЖИТЕ??? использовать - Fat Shark ReconHD моноблок, или переключиться на Walksnail VRX!!!??? с сэндвич - оформлением. Устал от ПИСАНИНЫ!!((( С нетерпением жду ваших рекомендаций - Соколов. Андрей. translation Separate Link.

HI, Thanks for your review! I am really struggeling with myself if i upgrade to hdzero as i am currently still flying analog with my skyzone skyzone03O. would you say the experience is worth the upgrade costs? I mainly fly 3 inch in the garden and tinywhoops. not so much 5 inch.

what are your settings on your vrx on hdo2

Thank you for all the info, I'm new to fpv and I want to ask if it would be possible to use the HDZERO with my diatone 369 and skyzone cobra x googles?

I saw a video from Ryan saying this is now delayed due to a bug. Also any plan to do a setup video down the road for newbies who get one of these?

Use 4K (2160p60) mode for the best bitrate. Otherwise, RU-vid compression will really destroy the DVR footage. I'm told the receivers should ship to retailers any day now (if they haven't already). Hopefully that means we'll start seeing retailer stock soon! If you don't want to risk missing the first batch, you can preorder now: bit.ly/3Kv6T6N These are the antennas I'm using (relatively cheap): - TrueRC Long SMA RHCP: bit.ly/3vQX7I7 - AXII Stubby (XILO branding): bit.ly/3yoldvk - AXII Stubby (ALTERNATE in case the XILO version sells out): bit.ly/3FqyHYR

probably with external patch antennas it will be 2 times thicker than the old vrx.

I have had the same problem and still after months and months don’t know what’s causing the problem.

Rx loss maybe? Aio or separate rx? I had two Zero warning rx losses less than 50 feet when i had bf 4.3 rc2 on a betafpv 1-2s 12a aio(osd tasking issue). Its on bf 4.3 rc5 now zero issues.

after seeing the latest footage from the avatar/fatshark walksnail, this is a lot better!!

There seems to be a fairly consistent stutter in the DVR footage. Is that normal?

Hi There, Do you have any complete betaflight 4.3 full release setup videos for whoops?

Yes sound is bad but definetly useful

just got mine one problem though where can I find a mini hdmi to a micro hdmi cable because my orca fpvone goggles v2 has micro hdmi port

what size lipo are you using for your goggles and vrx 3s or 4s

getting ready to preorder the module but have just realized the short dual 90 degree mini HDMI cable is not that easy to find. Do you have any recommendations?

How about using these on box type goggles?

One thing I noticed with my fat shark shark byte vrx is that you would get a random lag spike sometimes, have you noticed this issue at all with the new VRX module?

Any issues with the HDMI input on the HDO2s?

Oh, just saw an error, your text in the video says the modules use 7mW and 11mW, that is absolutley wrong. Probably 7W and 11W not mW,

live sound in flight? like analog?

and how do you get 16:9 video on your hdo2?

What kind of camera can u use? Any Hd camera ?

Which antenna was which for the range test?

I have the fatshark attitude v4 Googles does it work with that model ?

I'll stick with my trusty ole Hyperlite 5" Tooth fairy on 4s.. :)

Loose xt60?

The resolution seems to change a lot with blocky parts, not consistent to me, full RU-vid rez. What am I missing?

what is the power to weight ratio? 7

How about weight?

Can't it just go inside the goggle 😅 like any other module. . the attitude v6 has two receivers built in. the free space inside could easily fit quite a large pcb.

Your xt30 needs to be changed maybe a short

It failed because the betaflight version, am I right?

As a general rule in life, you should always be leery of any company that lacks the competence to maintain stock for customers. It speaks volumes of internal mismanagement.

$240 for module and needing 4 antennas? I'll keep using my hd scouts!

very weird field flight the ground looks like green water 5 feet ahead then turns to grass when you get there

What's your contact info Nate ? I'm in Portland looking to talk Tiny Whoop racing events I'm beaverton.

Fewer features, consumes more power, lower quality components, crappier form factor and more expensive than the original. Yeah, don’t wait for better alternatives, this is the one to get!

first

doesnt look HD to me...

I've had my 1w vtx for 1 month ...love hdzero and its development but I'm moving to fast to wait so I'm going dji

Nonsense ,until no googles i skip....

It’s okay, but HDZero won’t have my attention until goggles with binocular screens and built-in HD receivers are released.

Kinda a pointless review. Any system is gonna look good close range.
